Let me, when years number three score and ten, Hold no barren regrets for the past. ,et me feel fhat my name Is re spected by men, And let them be friends to the last. When the locks time has left me are scanty and gray. And my teeth have long since ceased to moult, Let me sit by the fire In' a digni fied way, And not try to act like a colt. That Walking Stick (Attica, tad.i Tribune) A cane was found by one of our eitljiens and left at this office for Identification nnd reclama tion. It Is not much of a cane, but Mill, viewing the Btlck from a psychological side glance, it must have done service to some citizen of Attica for many years. It is not a very long cane, there such aB a strong man would use. It Is not a very long came, there fore It must have belonged to a man with long arms, slightly looped, with tlie hublt of walk ing In deep meditation, with face Cast downward. Therefore this walking stick must have belonged to a professional man a doctor or a lawyer perhaps. Judging frojj the color of the cane the owner must be dark complexioned, gray haired and eyes either gray or brown. At a closer look at tlild Btlck the conclusion is reached that the former owner must have held some public offica for quite a number of years, as it shows it had been shifted from the right to the left hand an Incalculable numhor of times on occasions when the owner met up with fel low citizens with franchise to exercise. If the owner of this walking stick will call at this of fice, describe, the property nnd pay for this notice at 6 cents a line wo would be very glad to turn the cane over to him. Emergency Clause Veto Among the five measures on the referendum ballot referred to the people by the legislature at Tuesday's election is the "Emergency clause veto constitutional amendment," which empowers the governor to veto the emergency clause on any measure to which it is attached, without vetoing the balance of the measure. The measure would then not go into effect until 90 days had elapsed after its passage. The emergency clause added to a bill, makes it effective upon its passage, and deprives the people of their right to take a referendum, if desired. This is a privilege seldom utilized, but is a right reserved to the people that should not be interfered with with. There is a-.-wnig tendency to abuse the emergency clause and prevent referendums by its indiscriminate use. Every session sees the emergency clause applied to more and more measures' that are not emergency measures in any sense. If the proposed amendment is passed, the emergency i clause can be attached to every inconsequential measure in the hope that it may slip pass the governor, for its use will not endanger the bill. Instead of curtailing the abuse of the emergency clause, the amendment will increase it. The mere fact that its use under present conditions endangers the bill, restrains its use. Elimination of this restraint will increase the abuse. The measure is needless and should be defeated, for it will be more production of evil than of good. Alicia Hammersly A Woman Who Wouldn't Remarry By Idah McGlone Gibsor The Noted Writer Friay, June 3, Preserving The Parks Our national parks were dedicated by congress to the peo ple in perpetuity as national playgrounds. All of them con tain natural wonders and scenic marvels and their destruction or defacement would be a calamity. There has been for some years an effort to mar the natural beauties by commercial exploitation of their wa'tr and other resources for private gain, and to this end a systematic campaign has been waged in congress by promot ers of irrigation and power projects. It is therefore a real relief to note that President Harding is as firm for preservation of the parks as President W llson was and that Secretary Fall of the Interior department has gone on record by disapproval of pending measures, as follows : I do not believe It would be advisable for congress to permit private interests to dsvelop irrigation or power sites within the limits of existing national parks. These parks were created by congress for the preservation of the scenery, forests and other objects of beauty and interest, in their natural condition, and they are created and maintained for general and national purpqges as contradistinguished from local development. There are abundant apportunities for the development of reclamation and power projects outside of park boundaries. There ought to be some spots free from desecration by com mercial vandals.

Paul, Oregon, June 1, 1921 To the Editor: In a recent Is sue of The Capital Journal we read that our friend, Hon. Thos. Kay, blames the voters and not the legislators for the high taxa tion. The legislators have certainly gone the limit. There was a time when candidates had some fear of being defeated, and they would promise economy: but that time Is all past. All they need now Is to get the republican nomination and they are elected. In this, the voters are to blame. If the par ties were held more even, the vot ers would haye a' choice, and It would be an inducement for a member of the legislature to do better. The republicans in the state need a good boating. I ij.m t say by the democrats. Oh, no! tat It be by a taxpayers' league, or by independents, or by demo crats. Any one will do. The tax eaters have discovered that only a small vote is cast at special elections; as the taxpayer Is disgusted and fails to vote; but the voter that has nothing to lose comes out and gives a majority to the tax eating bills. There we find the voters are blamed. Well, In a way they are to blame. Why don't they come out and vote? But the legislature Is more to blame, and our friend should lay the blame there. In two years we will have four elections one regular and three special. On June 3. 1919, we had a special election. Only 90.8S7 votes were cast, and heavy bur dens were laid on the taxpayers. This election was ordered by the legislature. There was no need of this special election; but the legis lature ordered it. Are the voters or the legislature to blame for this special electiou? At this election five burdens were added to the taxpayers besides the expenses of the election. On May 21, 1920, another spec ial election was held by order of the leigslature, and 171,592 votes were cast. There were nine ques tions on, and they all carried. Had both of- these elections been held at the regular elections, most of these would have been beatn. On Nov. 2. 1920, a general elec tion was held, and a full vote was cost, being 247,899. Eleven questions were voted on and ten of them were beaten. This does not suit the tax eaters, and the legislature made another call for a special election to be petit on the 7th of this mouth. This makes four elections during the space of two years and five days Is it not about time for the vot ers to throw their politics aside and beat the party In power and elect a legislature of different, or no politics. The trouble with our state Is that too many of our vot ers, if the devil was on their tlcke and their father on the opposing ticket, would vote for the devil and throw their father. In looking over the votes cast by the five members In the legis lature from Marlon county on S. B. 309, calling the special election of next Tuesday, we find that four have voted in favor of the bill, ami one, Mr. Kay, was discreetly ab sent. Yours, JOHN F. THEO B BRENTANO.
